Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, I'm glad that you're having a specialist look at you. As PF is a restrictive disease we use more of our upper body muscles to physically breathe in and out than someone without, so carrying anything does put more of a stain on us. Your lung doc may offer you pulmonary rehab which will give you some exercises to bolster up your upper body muscles. While keeping as active as you can is important, don't do more than your body can manage and remember to rest. Is it possible that they got your blood tests muddled up? If you haven't been in any position to be exposed to either I'd demand that they were done again. Love Ze xx>> -> Hi!
